Public Enemies Columbus - The Book

I came up with the idea for Public Enemies Columbus - The Book (working title) when I realized there were many photographers out there reading my blog that had great photos.

Why not give them an outlet to show off their work and also document this outstanding, once in a lifetime opportunity for the town of Columbus.

Because so many people would be involved it is easier to have all proceeds go to the town of Columbus and it's Historical Building groups.

Problems? One very large one. Universal has a copyright on all photographs taken during filming. However, MAYBE since this will be a personal non-profit venture with only Columbus benefiting we can get across that barrier.

Another problem will be that we probably will not be allowed to release the book until the movie is released. This is actually a good thing because the excitement will wane at some point and get sparked again around release time.

I'll be attending meetings in the future to see what needs to be done. 

Here is how I plan to proceed
